The team follows Cross Country Canada’s Long Term Athlete Development model (LTAD) and strives to provide age-appropriate instruction and training for all skiers involved. Further information on the LTAD model can be found at crosscountrybc.ca

Practices:

Official season startup will be in Nov/Dec at the Bull Mt Ski trails. In past seasons, we have run dry land training sessions on Wed at 5:30 pm at Sacred Heart until the snow arrives. Check the Facebook Page.

Ski practices will be each Tuesday and Wednesday (from 5:45 pm to 7:00 pm). Sundays we will meet at 1:00 pm until 3pm.
We usually alternate weeks between classic and skating techniques. The Wednesday and Sunday sessions run at the same time as the Skill Development Programs.

Racing:

Racing is introduced during ski practices and skiers are encouraged to develop a sport for life healthy lifestyle in a team atmosphere.

Training Camps:

Training camps are an important part of the program for many skiers. There are age limits and skiers should be registered members of a club program for insurance reasons. Camps consist of age related sport skills, training concepts, exercise and having fun with like-minded co-athletes. Many parents assist with the coaching with these events and costs are kept as a non-profit concept.

Regional Snow and Dryland Camps – For athletes aged ~8-16 from the interior; locations and dates found on the Cross Country BC website.

Cost:

Registration for the Bull Mountain Racers is $90.

Racing Licences:

All skiers competing in the National Championships are required to have a current CCC Racing Licence.

Skiers in Midget through Open categories, who are planning to compete in the BC Cup Series, Western Canadian Championships or Nor Ams, require either a CCC Racing Licence or a CCC Day Licence.

Skiers competing in the Bantam age class and below, who are members in good standing with a CCC/CCBC club, do not require a day licence. However race organizers are responsible for ensuring these younger participants are members in good standing with a CCC/CCBC club.

Coaching:

Athletes are coached primarily by volunteer coaches. If you are interested in being involved as a coach, contact Rob Sutton at skijackrabbit@gmail.com

Equipment:

Skiers need skis, poles and boots for both classic and skate skiing. Combination boots are recommended for younger skiers. Skiers should also cary a waist-attached water bottle or other hydration system.

The club has some equipment available for Bull Mountain Racers skiers to rent for the season. Talk to Rob Sutton about this.
